K’naan’s 2010 World Cup hit Wavin Flag is one of the most iconic football song of all time but where is rapper now 14 years later?

K’naan’s Wavin Flag is a song that any football fan of a certain age will immediately recognize, but many of them will likely be unaware of what the singer has been up to since.

Wavin Flag was actually not the official song for the 2010 World Cup, that title belongs to Shakira – ‘Waka Waka (This Time for Africa).

Both songs are equally catchy in their own right and are synonymous with what was an unforgettable tournament.

Co-written and produced by Bruno Mars’ production team, Wavin Flag was chosen as Coca-Cola’s promotional song for the World Cup and was an international hit for K’naan.

But where is the rapper now 14 years after the song came out?

K’naan kept a relatively low profile as the fame generated from the single began to wane.

The Somali-Canadian published a children’s book in 2012 titled When I Get Older: The Story Behind Wavin’ Flag.

He also released an album the same year, but it received little of the critical acclaim and success that the previous one received on Troubadour.

K’naan subsequently apologized for the stylistic changes in the new album, which was called ‘Country, God or the Girl’.

The rapper did little in the public eye in the following years and settled in Nairobi, Kenya.

However, he recently bounced back and won his first-ever Grammy in February for a song called “Refugee,” which won in the category for Best Song for Social Change.

K’naan has always incorporated his personal experiences as a refugee into his music.

His family came to North America from Somalia, where they sought refuge from the civil war, when he was a teenager in 1991, first arriving in the US before settling in Toronto.
